Azelaic Acid
Product Introduction
Azelaic acid is a skin-friendly dicarboxylic acid with unique properties that works by inhibiting misbehaving elements on and within skin's uppermost layers. azelaic acid has a radar-like ability to interrupt or inhibit what's causing skin to act up. Skin "hears" the message azelaic acid sends and responds favorably, which leads to skin that looks better, no matter your age, skin type, or concerns.
Azelaic acid can be derived from grains like barley, wheat, and rye. Azelaic Acid is typically used in skin care formulas because of its greater stability and effectiveness. Azelaic Acid is a skincare ingredient used in cosmetics for its various beneficial properties. Azelaic Acid is known for its ability to exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce the production of keratin, making it effective in treating acne and improving skin texture. Additionally, it possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to reduce redness and hyperpigmentation.
Azelaic acid uses for skin with the following benefits:
Reducing dark spots:
Reducing the appearance of dark spots and an uneven tone is azelaic acid’s top claim to fame and why it’s often compared to vitamin C. Azelaic acid conquers this concern by helping to interrupt an enzyme (tyrosinase) in skin's uppermost layers that would otherwise lead to uneven skin tone and dark spots. Azelaic acid also helps reduce the appearance of dark spots that are incurred from previous inflammation, life changes, environmental damage and injury to skin.
Reducing skin redness:
Although it’s billed as a dark spot buster, azelaic acid is also routinely used to help soothe and calm the redness that’s often associated with irritation and sensitivity as well as being suitable for rosacea- and eczema-prone skin. Azelaic Acid assists in the decrease of visible redness on skin, and is even suitable for rosacea-prone skin.
Skin texture:
As a dicarboxylic acid, azelaic acid also has mild exfoliating properties. Through the usage of its keratolytic abilities, that is, the way that azelaic acid can break down the dead, dull outer layers of skin, it refines skin texture. Consistent usage of azelaic acid can result in fewer clogged pores and bumps as well as a radiant, healthy look.

Azelaic acid is a broad-spectrum ingredient in dermatology and cosmetology due to its properties and effects:
Anti-inflammatory action: Azelaic acid soothes inflamed skin, reducing redness and swelling, making it an effective ingredient in the treatment of rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions. Azelaic acid also has a soothing effect on skin with signs of hormonal acne, reducing the sensation of unpleasant symptoms such as itching and burning.
Antibacterial action: Azelaic acid inhibits the growth of anaerobic bacteria, such as Propionibacterium acnes, and aerobic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, which are responsible for skin inflammation and acne vulgaris. As a result, Azelaic acid effectively reduces the formation of pimples and blackheads.
Brightening effect:Azelaic acid reduces the activity of melanocytes by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of melanin. As a result, it effectively lightens post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, caused by the sun or hormonal changes, and reduces the visibility of existing pigmentation spots.
Antioxidant action: Azelaic acid is a powerful antioxidant, meaning that it neutralizes free radicals responsible for premature skin aging and inflammation. It also strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, counteracting the harmful effects of external factors.
